Biotechnology - A degree course that prepares you for an innovative, professional field of activity
Questions and answers
Is it possible to choose different specializations during the Biotechnology Bachelor's degree program?
In the fifth and sixth semesters, biotechnology students devote themselves to a specialization that indicates the direction in which their professional career should develop. There is a choice of:
- Biotechnology
- Pharmaceutical Technology
Can the Biotechnology Bachelor's degree also be obtained part-time?
Part-time study in Biotechnology is certainly possible, although it is only recommended for the first four semesters. As the last two semesters can sometimes be very intensive, students are advised to study the final year full-time if this is feasible.
Is a Master's degree in Biotechnology necessary to work in this field?
A Master's degree in Biotechnology is certainly a very good choice, but not absolutely necessary, as the Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology is job-qualifying.
Is it possible to get a taste of biotechnology studies?
As it is not always so easy to decide whether a particular course of study is actually suitable for you, the Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW offers prospective students the opportunity to take part in a free taster day. On this day, prospective students accompany students on the Bachelor's degree course in Biotechnology through exercises, lectures and internships and experience a day of study at first hand. The Universities will be happy to inform you about this taster course in Biotechnology.
